INC

Hey old friend. Sorry to put you out at all. I'll only sock over here for good purposes. I've got to get two teeth out tomorrow morning, so I won't be around tomorrow, though the painkillers make it hard to read the classics I'm used to, so some wiki time will be needed on the weekend. I'm just glad I'm dynamic. I tested ProcseeBot, and it even blocks transparent proxies! Imagine my surprise. Take care, INC. 47.33.7.25 (talk) 02:37, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'll just say that I'm very disappointed in the way things unfolded, and even more so with the way things are heading. —DoRD (talk) 02:45, 18 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

INeverCry, you said that you'd only sock over here for good purposes, so what's with the crap on so many user talk pages last night? (Don't answer, just stop.) —DoRD (talk) 12:33, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Immitator

You have an imitator. I just reverted a fake "sock block" notice on Rambling Man's talk page, and now I see he's left one on mine, ascribed to you, but actually from User:DeRD1. I'll scratch my head and figure out where it should be reported, but thought you should have a heads up right away. ----Dr.Margi ✉ 17:09, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind. Favonian and Sagacious Phil (too lazy to link) got on it in record time. ----Dr.Margi ✉ 17:14, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up, Drmargi. That's at least the second of their trolling/impersonation accounts this weekend. —DoRD (talk) 18:43, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that. It just shows to go you that you're getting someone's attention! ----Dr.Margi ✉ 18:47, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

Request to look at a request relating to a Checkuser block of yours.

At User talk:2602:306:BD89:F550:98AD:B7CE:DD3C:B031 there's a request for help creating an account to get round a checkuser block which you placed on the IP address. Apparently some bug or other is preventing the person in question from using the "request an account" method. Could you have a look at it and see whether you think the request should be granted?

Hi, JBW. There have been a number of disruptive accounts on that address/range, and the edits on that talk are a technical match. I am not aware of any issues with the ACC tool, but I do see an incomplete request for that username.

Okay, I asked one of the ACC admins and they said that it may be a transient issue, but even if the request makes it into the system, it'll be rejected. I wouldn't recommend creating any accounts from that range, to be honest. Cheers —DoRD (talk) 22:32, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. On the basis of what you have said I have declined the unblock request. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 22:42, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Need advice please and help

Hi DorD, I left you a message earlier today but later I noticed my I.P. has been renewed. So I will post on your page and mine just to be sure you get this,

How does one proceed with a prolific Conflict of Interest/ Vandalism case without revealing the identity of the perpetrators? Assume the COI has been sustained over the course of years, and proof of affiliation with biased, misleading, or self published sources is at hand.

Thanks.

Also what is "Possible self promotion in userspace?" and why are some revisions deleted? I'm not promoting anything, can you explain the edits? I couldn't have posted anything anyway as I was blocked for a couple of days.... Or does that mean someone is looking into my COI complaint? I have no idea how this works... :)

Re

Is there any reason you have not replied to my messages? Should I just contact another Admin or Arbcomm to deal with this or what?? You were quick to block me for a simple mistake but not so much to help..
